IjeBos:
Hmm...

Like release it let the facts determine who should be hurt or not. No?

Republicans won’t see any issues with this though 🙄

IjeBos:
Lol.. Definitely got by the spambot.
Sad we have to go through all this.

Sometimes when I make a typo, I don’t even bother to go back and fix it because that’s when they decide to ban me lol

Sorry for all the typos past, present and future 😹

ijebosb:
Had to read this twice to understand "noods".

haha. Trying sneak by spambot

Of course they have more than noods. In 2025, what are noods? No one would bat an eye at them.

But noods with a minor? Now that’s something.

bayelsaowei:
And this person is supposed to be the president of all Americans (those who voted for him + those who didn’t vote for him). He has chosen the Israelis ahead of his own people.

Or is it possible Netanyahu has Trumps nudes..

See human being wey people Dey follow.

bayelsaowei:
Where is Tulsin Gabard by the way?

Probably getting fitted for her handmaid’s dress

Don’t worry they all eventually get the same treatment as Serena Joy

Used for propaganda. Insulted and discarded at the earliest convenience when they start attempting to grow a spine

bayelsaowei:
Republican women are good for Propaganda. That is all.



Because they cant even advise Trump and he'll listen.

I have next to no respect for female republicans. If you can fall behind the people who see you as no better than chewed up gum under a shoe, you definitely don’t deserve the respect others fought hard for.

I mean why would that even be necessary when you made it clear you love being disrespected? I will NEVER understand them.

And make no mistakes, MTG is hoping to do a rebrand with this “realization” she’s coming to. It’s part of their constant grift.

She’s not just realizing it. She always knew. She just thought she would be different. Like all the other pick mes do. They side with terrible men thinking they will someone treated differently after all is said and done.

Must he pull his mouth and get involved in everything? Is what i don't know. Like he doesn't have much to do

He didn’t even complete his first sentence. Just went off in a tangent.

From the people shouting the 2020 election was rigged. Issh

Trying to steal 2026 elections in broad daylight

Y’all’s president is sundowning again

Are these tens of thousands of people also terrorists?

Preciouschinwe:
Good morning ma @cococandy, my 5 years old son is having occasional seizures on his leg and hands. It happened once last year but this year it's been more frequent he has been treated for convulsions but the seizures didn't stop. The test results he did said typhoid malaria and infections, so I want to know if you have seen or heard of something like this, because I'm planning on taking him to a general hospital for another test.

Hi sorry I’m just seeing this. Yes Seizures can happen in this pattern but Pls take this baby to a good hospital to figure out what’s actually going on. Blood tests can’t diagnose seizure disorders (if that’s what’s happening here).

Pardon my curiosity, was this visit during December and early January? If yes, the prices are fair. This is not to condone the ill-maintenance.

no it was just last month. I heard during the holidays when the IJGBs come back, the prices are even steeper.

That’s crazy too that we’ve normalized this but during the holidays, prices are cheaper in other countries. Sales upon sales to attract customers. Christmas sales, Thanksgiving sales, Black Friday sales, Easter sales, Labor Day sales, Fourth of July sales. Every company rushing to outdo the rest in sales.

In our country we see it as a time to hike prices

abeg avoid radisson blu ooo

https://www.nairaland.com/6840199/near-death-experience-radisson-blu-hotel

since the SA owners pulled out, shoprite is now quite simply grossly overpriced

there is almost nothing worth buying there if you have a mental checklist of prices across stores.

however , you will only know this if you are a skinflint peeny pincher

as you were coming in for a week you would have gone there straight. i suspect it is americanas who are still keeping the place in business

What are some better options besides open market. Thanks

ijebosb:
This auto-mod is terrible.
What are moderators of this board doing.
This is a politics section, there are some words that are in the political discourse that should be able to be used, like .

It seems to be happening more on this thread.

bayelsaowei:
even the person Trump appointed (Powell) that is just doing his job independently, Trump disagrees with that person today, because the person wont do his zombie bidding..

It doesn't matter who appointed who..once you disagree to "abandon your brain and please only Trump", Trump takes you out..

TRUMP cant stand criticism..he cant stand objectivity..Trump cant stand people with integrity..

These are the qualities Trump requires of those who work with and for him below. The list isnt exhaustive and not limited to:

1. Foolishness and Trump worship.
2. Must have committed a crime
3. Must be a sycophant devoid of objective reasoning.
4. Must understand the art of lying through ones teeth.
5. Must be ready to defend Trumps lies and idiocy even against sound reasoning.

One must meet with all of or some of these requirements to work with Trump.

You can add more..

If you have good earning power and people abroad it is almost always cheaper to buy your stuff from abroad. And you are sure of the quality

This is actually how people make money from 'importing'. Bringing in low quality goods in bulk and selling at hefty markups.

That’s what my cousin’s wife said. €200 buys you a full cart in Germany. She was shocked when she came to visit. They bought a trunkful of food and had change left from €200. But when I was in Nigeria, a few plastic bags of food at ShopRite and I was paying over 150k naira each time.

I was seeing soaps that you can get for one dollar at the dollar store being sold for 6-9k at ShopRite. I usually don’t like to do conversion mathematics but I was shocked because I kept thinking “how are people surviving”?

We got a suite at Radisson Blu V.I for around 800k ($530) a night. On getting there very late , they upgraded us to their “presidential suite” at 1.5 million per night. It was an upgrade so of course we didn’t pay the full 1.5

The “presidential” bathrooms had crusty edges. The towels had seen better day. The carpets didn’t seem to have been changed since it was built. You can tell it was originally built to be luxurious but the maintenance was not kept up at all. I wondered what the 800k room would have been like. And this was the case for two other places we stayed.

Black Diamond Hotel in VI.
They charged us 2 million naira for 3 nights (two suites) and I had to call them to physically remove one of the couches in one of our suites due to the smell. stains and cigarette burn marks

I’ve never in all my travels paid hotels that offered so little for the prices they charged.

It’s like they Google what American companies charge and slap those prices on their products and services without offering same standards or quality.

This was the same for the other services I encountered. Almost like they are on the internet researching what Americans pay for goods and services so they can charge Nigerians the same.

Lagos continental hotel VI somewhat lived up to the expectation but the downside is that you can’t comfortably come out and walk around the area without being confronted with wide open dark gutters with heavy stench. And that was supposed to be the good area 😰

GloriousGbola:
My guy came in for a funeral. Funeral is outside lagos. I was not sure I would be able to meet up with him later so I met with him at Marriott hotel ikeja. One night with room service my guy spent like 750k


And he was clear that this cost was like maybe a third over what he paid at Marriott hotel mexico

And a lot of people are kind of paranoid about hanging with family if family is not also loaded.

One of my colleagues lost his mil like that. Robbers came to the house for dollars. So someone in the family or house obviously leaked the info.

Gerrard59:
I'm genuinely curious, apart from ensuring constant power supply, what took most of the money?

Power supply big one but genuinely it was everything. There wasn’t any single thing that wasn’t priced in the thousands. It’s like a thousand is the beginning point of pricing. Like why?

I’ll use bread for example; 3-5k (1-4 dollars )for a loaf of bread. That is exactly how much bread costs in America.
Are we importing materials to make bread?

There were some simple items I didn’t take back with me to avoid unnecessary luggage with the hope of buying them at home. I was disappointed. A poor quality towel runs around 20k naira at ShopRite and the likes. I can get a set of 5 hotel quality towels at Costco for that price.

Simple chicken pizza for my kids 17k (12-13 dollars). Why? That’s more than what pizza costs in the USA.
Every single thing was in the thousands. Where I wan begin? Fast food, restaurants or cooking at home everything was expensive.

Why are average Nigerians paying more than or equivalent to American prices while living in an economy that doesn’t give them same purchasing power?

You can have both

CoronaVirusPro:
I was only implying that you are more at peace having a house of your own in Nigeria than someone on a 15-40 year mortgage rat race.

Mindlog:
Running to what?😂😂😂

Certainly not me, comfortable with my dream job and the quality of life, where I am.😎

I usually hate how people respond to posts like this because they’ll just assume it’s show off and refuse to take the message in it. So here goes nothing

But I visited Nigeria last month with my family and over the course of 14 days I spent several several MILLIONS (I won’t even state the number to avoid unnecessary analysis) just to have the BASIC standard of living we’re used to. It wasn’t luxury at all in my opinion.

So I’m imagining how someone who’s not earning 1 million monthly is faring. Last I checked majority of Nigerians are not earning over that. Literally everything cost as much or more than it would in America.

They just changed everything and only cater to the rich and powerful now it seems. How are the average people surviving?

I hate when they try to use patriotism and love of country to make people accept a bad situation as if it’s normal. Nigeria seems to be the only country that charges the US dollar equivalent of items without the income of its citizens matching those prices.

Those that side with them on racism thinking they’ll be the model minority have yet to learn.

ijebosb:
The MAGA reality.

The weirdest cult to ever exist. They’ll go down in infamy. Then in future those that supported them will start pretending they never did.

Let’s never let them forget

dominique:
Tying of teeth. I've seen someone do it during my NYSC days, she couldn't talk properly. She said she could only feed on liquids or semi solids using straws, not like she was that fat o. I didn't see her after we left camp but those that saw her said she lost a lot of weight. The procedure should be used for overweight people who eat uncontrollably

How will they clean their mouths and tongues? 😳

Takes one to admire one

You know what they say about birds of a feather

President Donald Trump’s attempt to revive the long-defunct Presidential Fitness Test veered into political scandal and absurdity Thursday after he launched the children’s health initiative alongside a convicted sex offender, boasting that there’s "nobody like him."


It was meant to be a nostalgic salute to American fitness. Instead, it became a microcosm of the Trump presidency: chaotic, controversial, and colliding with decades of unresolved questions about power, accountability, and abuse.

In front of cameras, Trump signed an executive order reinstating the Presidential Fitness Test in public schools. Framed as a national push for “discipline, strength, and American excellence,” the initiative was rolled out at a Roosevelt Room event meant to evoke Cold War-era unity. What it evoked instead was outrage.


That anger was not about the test itself, though it has its critics, but about who Trump chose to stand beside him.

Former New York Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor, 66, stood just feet from Trump during the launch. Taylor is a registered sex offender who, charged with statutory rape in 2011, pleaded guilty to sexual misconduct and patronizing a prostitute after paying for sex with a trafficked 16-year-old girl, ESPN reported. He claimed he believed she was 19. He was sentenced to six years of probation and ordered to register as a sex offender. In 2024, he was arrested again in Florida for failing to update his address on the state registry, a repeat violation, ESPN reported.

Related: The DOJ to Ghislaine Maxwell: ‘Pardon me, do you mind lying and denying for Donald Trump?'

Trump not only invited Taylor but handed him the microphone. “I’m proud to be on this team,” Taylor said. “I don’t know why. I don’t know what we are supposed to be doing, but I’m here to serve.”

“Nobody like him,” Trump said about Taylor after he spoke

Your brother Raum will say you’re lying

armyofone:
Snap for low income people - reduced
Funding for research - scattered
CPB - closed
Free food for poor people - reduced, scattered or closed

Instead of taxing the rich, they are closing things down.

Tariff are up = price of things more costly now - Americans pay the price of high tariff.

Yeah - winning indeed!
